1963 260 heads

:doh:
I am in need of one valve spring retainer. It needs to come from a 1963 260 head. My machine shop tells me that is the only year that will fit. Any one have one?

I don't know anything about this engine but I did a search on RockAuto under 1963 Sprint out of curiousity and found this:

Does this seem like what you're looking for?

Thanks for the info. Great website. Unfortunately what I am after is the valve spring retainer not the valve spring retainer keepers. I need the cap that goes on the top of the spring. I thought I had some lined up but the engine went to the crusher before I could get my hands on it.
This is the final piece I need to put my engine back to 1963 factory specs.

Sorry...I misread your request :eek:

Yea, they have a lot of parts there and pretty good prices. Have you tried asking on www.tffn.net (http://www.tffn.net)? There are Falcon fanatics from all over the globe on that forum and somebody may be able to help you out.
